Unadilla Diner To Open In October By Allison Collins Father-and-son restaurateurs Robert and Tyler Boudreau, of Afton, are cooking up Americana with a big side of nostalgia on Main Street, Unadilla. The pair expects to reopen the Unadilla Diner, closed since the early 2000s, “Sometime in October,” Tyler, 26, said. Together they own the diner-style Boudreau’s Bistro at 3 Water Street, Greene. The Boudreaus said they’re embracing the diner’s old-timey feel - keeping original chrome details, the stool-studded pink countertop and banquette-style booths - but have renovated the building inside and out. The Boudreaus’ involvement, Tyler noted, began roughly a year ago after his interest in the property was piqued by a post on Facebook. “As far as the stainless steel goes, we kept all that original,” general contractor Chris Merklin said. “But we did a brand-new kitchen in the back; new tile; new walls, electric and plumbing; we put in a new foundation; and the (attached) house was torn down in 2012. “We’re just trying to keep it grassroots,” he continued. “We didn’t do a whole lot with the stainless steel because we wanted to keep it the way it was. We’d hate to mess up an American icon for a few modern features.” The 88-seat Unadilla landmark was transported from New Jersey to 198 Main Street, Merklin said, in “1957 or ’58.” It was built, he noted, in 1956. According to americandinermuseum.org, such history is typical of diners, with the onset of diner culture linked to railroad cars and even lunch wagons in the Northeast in the late 1870s through 1920s. The word “diner,” the site notes, “is derivative of ‘dining car’ and diner designs
reflect the styling that manufacturers borrowed from railroad dining cars... (with) decommissioned railroad cars and trolleys often converted into diners.” After arriving in Unadilla, the diner was operated by the late Larry Henchey through the mid ‘80s. Mary Green owned and operated the diner after Henchey, Merklin said, until its closure in 2006. A Philadelphia-based lawyer, from whom the Boudreaus are leasing the building, purchased the property in 2001. Once open, the Boudreaus said, the building’s place in collective memory will hopefully prove a draw. “We’ve got people coming from all over,” Robert, 51, said. “They’re excited.” Plans to reopen, the Boudreaus said, were announced via Facebook on Sept. 8. The post has since generated more than 125 comments. “We’re getting 20 or 30 different groups of people showing up in Greene, and they’re coming from Oneonta, Otego, Unadilla and Sidney,” Tyler echoed. Tyler said the diner’s menu will replicate fare found at Bou-
dreau’s Bistro, which he and Robert launched three years ago, after leaving a career in modular home construction and transportation. “I didn’t know what white, wheat or rye was,” Robert said, laughing. “I’d never cooked before (opening Boudreau’s Bistro), but I think we can cook pretty good and my wife (Dawn) has been in the field forever.” Popular menu items coming from the Greene location to Unadilla, Tyler said, include the “volcano burger,” a beef burger stuffed with Cooper cheese; Reuben sandwiches; and pancakes “the size of a plate.” The Unadilla Diner, he said, will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and twelve flavors of Gifford’s hard ice cream. Opening a second site, Robert noted, was something he and Tyler considered for roughly two years. Tyler said, while scouting potential locations, he was drawn to the diner’s “whole vibe and the feeling.” Though part of the village’s See Unadilla Diner page 4

The annual barn tour has been a sponsor favorite, and it’s Walton’s turn. Walton native Lindy Taggart helped create the tour of the “overshot” barns that characterize Walton’s agricultural heritage and countryside. Lindy said, “The architects and builders of these barns probably had no more than an eighth grade education, yet they could set up a sawmill in the brook to cut the timber, assemble it on the ground and then have a “barn raising.” She added, “The stone foundations supported the barns and stone “bridgeways” allowed access to hay mows. Some had cupolas to ventilate and decorate, as well as ornate trim.” The barns are beautiful - historically and architecturally. The tour will include a working dairy farm, horse stable, and barns that have been preserved or repurposed. To take the tour, meet at 245 Budine Road (off of County Road 22 - East Brook), Walton.

It was with a heavy heart that I heard about Alana Benson’s passing. Although I knew it was coming it does nothing to soothe my heart. I know she is at peace and with her Walter, but selfishly I wanted to have her here. There have been beautiful tributes from family and friends all day on Facebook and they all have a common theme - she was an angel on Earth, so of course she is in Heaven now. Her smile could light up a room and everyone she came in contact with. A purely selfless woman, she was an inspiration in how she treated others and faced obstacles most of us couldn’t imagine. Fly high Alana, we are all the better from having known and loved you. You will be sorely missed by many.

Evan, 11, is a triplet, and according to his mother, his biggest daily challenges are communicating and socializing. “The hardest part is that there’s a wait time when you ask him a question or if someone says ‘hello.’ He needs more time than others to respond and often people have moved on by the time he has pulled up his communication application on his iPad,” said Kruppo. Although EVAN was founded in 2012, the walk was not initiated until 2015. “We are an all-volunteer committee of professionals and parents in the field. The United Ministry Church is a partner in our mission thus affording us the opportunity to keep 100 percent of the money we take in to go directly to running our events and buying equipment,” said Kruppo. “We actually have enough money that if a family asks for something and it’s non-medical that we can usually purchase it.”

Bob Wyer Film Frames Decades Of History In Delaware County

By Christina Viafore
Lillian Browne/The Reporter
Meyer Little, 14, of Walton, will portray William Austin, former Walton Mayor in Saturday’s history-ladened fundraiser at the Walton Cemetery. the stories of ‘Maddie, Frankie and Georgie’ that died within days of one another. The cemetery tour is a fund raiser for the Walton Historical Society. Following the success of the inaugural cemetery tour six years ago, President Lorraine Miller launched the second If Gravestones Could Talk tour in response to overwhelming public request. The tour, Miller said, is a great way to learn about Walton’s history and its forefathers. It also helps to preserve the history of
the town, she said. Two tours will be offered on Saturday, Sept. 21, one at 1 p.m. and a second at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 per person or $15 for a family. Participants can ride the trolley through the cemetery for the tour, or walk. For more information, or to purchase advance tickets, contact the Walton Historical Society at 607.865.5895. Tickets can also be purchased at the event. Tours will start at the Fancher Avenue entrance to the Walton Cemetery.
A showing of the documentary “Bob Wyer Catskills Photographer” was held last weekend at the Delaware County Historical Association (DCHA) in Delhi. Twenty people attended, including Delhi resident Peg Baldwin. Her family had a long history and friendship with the Wyer family. She remembers that Bob Wyer took their family portraits and her school photos at Delaware Academy, as did a few others in the audience. DCHA Director Tim Duerden welcomed the group and the 74-minute film began. Narrator Lily Ogozalek, a high school senior from Hancock Central School, opens the documentary explaining that, “In 1936, the Oneonta Star established a photo engraving department and gave Bob Wyer a camera, and his life would be forever changed.” The Wyers set up their studio in Delhi and photographed hundreds of local residents, buildings, and events through the late 1970s. The documentary presents dozens upon dozens of Bob Wyer photographs taken from the collection of 150,000 negatives that the Wyers donated to DCHA in 1979. Three themes evolve throughout the film. First, there is the story of the gifted negatives, and how they were virtually unusable until the mid-2000s when technology advanced to allow the negatives to become positive images. Second, there are the personal stories of interactions with the Wyers retold by those that knew them, including Delhi residents Gary Manning, Lucile Frisbee, and John Bram-
Bovina Town Board... continued from front page cally reduce minimal amounts of arsenic detected in the water of its backup well. The meeting was well-attended by community members, and before the two men from Cedarwood spoke, Supervisor Tina Molé explained that this backup well, which was dug to be a secondary well in the event that the primary well went offline, is not hooked up to the water supply, and therefore there is no arsenic in the town’s drinking water. The town board members have been exploring options for how to deal with the arsenic in this backup well in the event it is used, and Cedarwood had proposed designing an arsenic filtration system to be installed in the backup well that would significantly decrease arsenic levels below the acceptable threshold established by the New York State Department of Health, if not to “non-detect” or zero. The system, called the Isolux Arsenic Removal System, has the advantage that in treating for arsenic does not produce liquid waste which must be treated or shipped away, instead it uses replaceable cartridges. The board members discussed different scenarios of using the secondary backup well with different frequencies of use, and Councilman Mark Rossley cautioned that if the system were not used often it would be more likely to require maintenance, therefore it should not be left to idle once it is designed and installed. Suozzo and Whittaker proposed that the town board authorize them to begin designing
the filtration system, after which the designs would be sent to the Department of Health for approval. Board members gave the go ahead to Suozzo and Whittaker. Later John Madeo and Mike Jonker from from LVDV (Lamont Van Der Valk) Operations, Inc. gave a rundown of activities at the town’s wastewater treatment facility over the summer, including flushing mains, replacement of a flowmeter and a pump control module, and resurfacing the access road to the plants. Madeo and Jonker said that when oil and stone was put down on county Route 6, some sewer manholes were covered because the wrong grade ring risers had been sent, which would have housed the manholes and lifted them to the level of the road as the oil and stone was put down. All but four manholes were instead covered with cardboard and paved over. In 2020, the situation will be addressed again. Bovina resident Alan McPheely addressed the board about the problem of dust control on Miller Avenue, where he
resides. McPheely said he was frustrated by the town of Bovina’s lack of effectiveness in mitigating the amount of dust raised by traffic on Miller Avenue, which McPheely said was a health concern for him and his family. McPheely said that he has raised his concerns to the town board since 2011. Supervisor Molé said that the board would put some solution in the budget for next year to fix the problem.

On the left, editor Arthur Pierson pictured with DCHA Director, Tim Duerden. ley. Alvina Teter, who worked for the Wyers, recounts several adventures with the couple. Finally, there is the story of the fascinating life lead by Bob and his wife Billie. The movie enlightens the viewer on how Billie was the spark plug of the operation, and how they traveled the country once the postcard business took off. Following the credits Editor and Director of Photography Arthur Pierson was available for discussion. Pierson told the audience that his favorite Wyer photos were the candids, including a photo taken after a flood in Bovina that depicted a young boy standing inside a turned over shed, and the one of the Delhi Diner that he was pretty sure included his wife, and a boy popping his head out from a booth. Attendees remembered the Wyers and their sons Peter and Bob. Cynthia Cobbe recollected a story of the lost snake that Peter had brought home from Florida. The photos taken at murder scenes were particularly memorable - and the photos included in the film merely scratches the surface of the photos in the DCHA collection. Pierson mentioned that the driving force behind making the film was Producer and Director Samantha Misa. Misa is a graduate of Delaware Academy, SUNY
Geneseo, and recently received her Master’s degree from Binghamton University. She works for DCHA and in the film explains how priceless the Wyer collection is. The film also has original music composed by New Kingston resident Brittany Elliott, a Hartwick College graduate with a BA in music performance. Pierson, Misa and Elliot worked together on the film, “The Coulter Code” in 2018, which tells the story of a secret code created by a Delaware County farmer in the 1860s and how it was cracked in 2014. The next project for Pierson and Misa will be converting over 100 reels of film into digital format. In 2020, DCHA will celebrate its diamond anniversary. The next showing of the “Bob Wyer Catskills Photographer” documentary will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. at the Walton Theatre, 31 Gardiner Place, Walton. Free admission, although donations are encouraged. A question and answer session will be held after the film and DCHA will display a grouping of Bob Wyer images in the theatre’s gallery.

Walton’s Italian Picnic Day
Unadilla Diner...

continued from front page past, Tyler said, he’s hopeful its resurrection will enliven Unadilla’s future. “It’s going to bring more people off the highway and bring more people into the community,” he said. “When they’re here, they’ll check out the other shops, but this will be the attraction of Unadilla. People will drive here for the diner.” “We want all the old people, all the young people - we want everyone to come,” Robert said. An official opening date, Tyler
said, awaits a successful health inspection, installation of remaining equipment and staffing. A “Unadilla Diner” Facebook page and phone number, he said, will follow. The Boudreaus plan to hire “between eight and 12” employees,” Tyler said, with “four or five” already lined up or shifting from the Greene restaurant. The Unadilla Diner will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 7 to 2 on Sunday and closed Monday.
Franklin a Dry Town No More?
September 18, 2019
The Reporter
By Patty Lollot WALTON-The 39th annual Italian Picnic was celebrated on Sunday at the Club Royale on Delaware Street and it drew a large, festive crowd of those with Italian heritage and their friends. While the event was filled with laughter, congenial conversation and earmarked with a huge buffet of largely Italian inspired dishes, the early acceptance of the Italian community into the Walton mainstream wasn’t immediate. Linda Belmont, one of the event’s organizers, recalls that life in Walton for the early Italian immigrants in the 1800s wasn’t always pleasant.
Petition Submitted To Revoke Status
By Rosie Cunningham FRANKLIN - A petition has been submitted, and many Franklin residents are making a stand hoping to revoke the community’s status as a “dry town.” The subject was discussed recently at a Greater Franklin Chamber of Commerce meeting. Currently, no beer or alcohol sales are allowed in the township and economically, many argue, this determination impacts Franklin negatively. Franklin is one of the last remaining towns in Delaware County which has a “dry town” status. According to Brian Brock, president of the Greater Franklin Chamber of Commerce, it was the chamber that organized the petition against “dry town.” It was submitted to the town board with 297 signatures, 31 more than the required 25 percent. The petition was submitted to Delaware County Board of Elections and will potentially be a question on the ballot in November. “Currently under ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) law, there are seven choices of venues where towns may restrict sale of alcoholic beverages,” said Brock. “Franklin isn’t dry, more like damp,” Brock continued. “In 1999 there was a successful petition to put the ABC questions for towns, five at the time, on the ballot. Only the one for the sale of beer passed. Therefore, we can buy beer and wine coolers at the local gas station.” Franklin first went dry in 1891 with the election of an excise commissioner who promised not to grant liquor licenses. Residents first voted directly on local prohibition in 1893. After federal prohibition was repealed, Franklin again voted to go dry in 1935. Brock discussed the benefits of Franklin businesses being able to sell alcohol. “The chamber is supporting the revival of the village business district,” he said. “For more than a century it served the residents. However, after the state highways, residents abandoned the local shops for the cheaper and greater variety in the cities.
Now downtown businesses are mostly eateries (Bea’s 422, Tulip and Rose, and Two Brothers) and shops for tourists (Blue Farm Antiques, Franklin Durable Goods, GaryGraham422, Kabnitt Kammer, and The Squire’s Tankard). Local stores need local eateries to attract customers. Many people will pass up eating here if they can’t have a beer or wine with their meal, so we lose their business. Also, eateries make a goodly fraction of their profit selling beer and wine. I fear that without being able to sell beer and wine, we’ll lose the eateries and then the stores, leaving downtown to Mirabito and Dollar General.” “I support the people of the community and if it benefits them, I am for it,” said Franklin Village Mayor Tom Briggs. “I know there are people who oppose it in the village and it doesn’t make a lot of sense anymore. I know there are a couple of restaurants who may choose to come to our town if the ordinance is lifted. I certainly don’t want a honky-tonk or watering hole, but I don’t see that happening. I think if people want to go out and have a drink with dinner, that’s a positive.” On the flip side, Brock said he ran into individuals who believe there will be potential “cons” if the dry town status is revoked. “When we were canvassing for signatures, they seemed to be mostly people who remember the ‘bad old days’ or at least stories of the bad old days, and don’t want change,” he said. Brock said last year, the owner of Two Brothers - Leanne Taggart, who had a liquor license when she ran the Penguin in Walton, put out petitions in her store but only got about 170 signatures. “So this spring, the chamber discussed it and decided to back the effort,” he said. “However, the guys who run the Tulip and Rose Cafe are opposed to serving alcohol or even BYOB (Bring Your Own Beer), so there will be a venue for non-alcoholic dining in Franklin as long as they are here, which is hopefully, a very long time.”

In the book “From Chiaramonte to Shepard Hill,” Belmont’s mother, author Eleanor, wrote of “fathers forbidding their daughters to date those Italian boys, (difficulty in) borrowing money from the bank, and perceived social differences between Townsend School and Miller Avenue school. But all this was dismissed as the second generation began to excel in school activities and sports, and families became integrated into the community.” The book’s title refers to the 25 early Italian families who emigrated from rural Chiaramonte, Italy to the Shepard Hill area of Walton. Most came due to Nick Launt (Launti) being asked by railroad au-

Weather Words With Frank Ward
Weather Summary For Sept. 9 - Sept. 15 And This Week’s Prediction Lillian Browne/The Reporter
Despite the number of lodging venues available in Delaware County, more are needed, according to Chamber President Ray Pucci, seen here with Chris Rosenthal at Harmony Hill Lodging and Retreat Center in East Meredith - a tourist destination.
NYS Report Reveals $5 Million Leap In Tourism Spending In Delaware County Delaware County Tourism Nets $117 Million In 2018
By Lillian Browne DELHI - Tourism-related dollars spent in Delaware County in 2018 have grown to nearly $117 million, over $112 million 2017 - a 4.5 percent increase - according to a report issued by Tourism Economics for New York State Empire State Development Division for Tourism Development; and that, according to Delaware County Chamber of Commerce President Ray Pucci, is great news for local businesses and local government. The annual report gives tourism promotion agencies, like the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce, a snapshot of the results of tourism promotion efforts and is a benchmark that the Division of Tourism uses to measure its success. Pucci attributes the growth to continued consumer interest in the western Catskills region and, specifically, in Delaware County. He also attributes the growth to the success in programming, promotion and marketing of Delaware County by the Chamber. Tourism is also responsible for eight percent of Delaware County’s employment numbers which include retail, restaurants and lodging - which totaled more than $24 million in 2018. “It’s sustainable growth in the business sector,” Pucci said, which is especially important in eastern Delaware County which is developmentally hampered by regulatory restrictions and geography. In response to the tourism driven economy, Delaware County has seen an upswing in the number of beverage manufacturers and taprooms - such as Lidners’ Cidery in Hamden and Faith American Brewing Company in New Kingston; which join the ranks of established craft beverage producers and retailers such as Wayside Cider in Andes; Union Grove Distillery in Arkville; Awestruck Cider in Sidney and Muddy River Hops in Unadilla. “Visitors are looking for authentic rural experiences and they are interested in making a connection with our producers and the products they are consuming,” Pucci said. The Chamber recently received $102,000 for tourism promotion, a share of the 2018 Occupancy Tax generated by registered lodg-
ing venues. That number has grown steadily in the three years that tax has been in place and has helped elevate the profile of tourism and tourism promotion within county government, Pucci continued. A few highlights from the report reveal: • Traveler spending increased 6.2 percent across of all New York. The strongest growth occurred in the Catskills with an 11.3 percent increase in spending. • Traveler spending in Delaware County grew to near $117 million in 2018. • Tourism accounted for over 1,100 jobs in Delaware County resulting in $40 million in labor income recirculating through the local economy. • Tourism generated more than $7 million in local taxes and over $6 million in state taxes. Were it not for tourism-generated state and local taxes, the average household in Delaware County would have to pay an additional $730 to maintain the same level of government revenue. The report is reflective of the fact that tourism promotion is paying real dividends, Pucci said. “This report is an evaluation to gauge the effectiveness of our programming. If this were a test - we definitely passed,” he said. “But only with a B-plus. We have some more work to do.” A better job needs to be done in reporting from the lodging venues in Delaware County, he said. Delaware County is dependent on vacation rentals rather than more traditional establishments and all of those places need to identified, he said. “We’re in an odd spot,” Pucci said of Delaware County. While Delaware County saw 4.5 percent growth in spending, it lags behind the state which saw a 6.2 percent increase and was considerably outpaced by the Catskills region as a whole which saw an 11.3 percent increase in spending. Delaware County remains a desired destination for travelers, Pucci said, and his office will continue to work with regional and state partners to ensure benefits from broader efforts. “We’re in this together,” Pucci said of that collaborative effort. “And, we’re stronger together.” For more information about the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce visit delawarecounty. org.

Delhi Village Talks Water, Police Business And Projects By Rosie Cunningham DELHI - The importance of water improvements, police business and various discussions regarding projects topped the agenda at the Delhi Village Board meeting Monday. Bill Brown of Delaware Engineering said construction has been completed for the water system project. The new well house and well has been approved for use by the New York State Department of Health and is currently in service. He said the Sheldon Drive water tank painting has been completed both inside and out and the tank was back in service as of Sept. 13. The village approved the payment to Worldwide Industries in the amount of $224,063.20 for work done. Regarding the Depot Street Water Treatment Plant, the water main cleaning was conducted at the facility and is currently in service. Piping repairs will be completed later this month. Deputy Mayor Chris Maney said the village is doing everything possible to keep the village water in good standing and “problems” regarding the water tank were addressed immediately. Brown added that there was and is, a lot of good work done on behalf of the staff at the water treatment facility. Maney discussed the Riverwalk Project and said he could not in good faith, close out the loose ends of the project. “I have talked to Sean Letty and Tom Little (code enforcement officer) and my comfort level is not there,” he said. “There are two parts: a permit expiring on Sept. 30 for access to the river, and I am concerned with a change order because plans have not been approved by the DEP (Department of Environmental Protection).” The review process will take two weeks - about the same time
the permit is set to expire. “Michael Haas, who works with Delta, sent me an email which does not recommended the approval of a change order at this point,” Maney continued. “At this point, the decision has to be tabled - I think some details were rushed through.” Some bills were paid in regards to the River Project and Delaware Bulldozing out of Bloomville will be paid $79,318, a fee which will be advanced by the board and refunded. In police business, Brian Davis was promoted to sergeant, a position he will maintain as long as he scores in the top three on his civil service exams. Delhi Village Chief Police Michael Mills will be working four days a week for 10 hour shifts rather than five days a week (Tuesday through Friday).
Maney and trustee Jeremy Fitch explained that the move is a “trial run” through the spring semester and if it does not work out the schedule will be evaluated. Maney said financially it makes sense because there will be a reduction in overtime pay for the village police and there will be between coverage all around. There will officially be four fulltime officers in addition to Chief Mills. In other business, last week the board approved the hiring of Kim Cairns as Delhi Village Clerk. At the Monday evening meeting, the board authorized the appointment of Delhi Deputy Clerk-Treasurer Jean Yager, who began work on Sept. 17. The board accepted the resignation of Garry Hood from the crossing guard position.

Town of Delhi Accepts Monies From Village For Pool Supervisor Updates Board Regarding Social Service Commish
By Rosie Cunningham DELHI - Under a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) the town of Delhi accepted $91,000 from the village of Delhi which will be used for the town pool. Under recreation, the board was updated that the pool was closed on Labor Day and a full report will be submitted by the pool director John Kolodziej at the next Pool Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting. According to councilman and PAC member Allan Perkins, a lot of “great feedback” was received regarding the community pool. A winter cover for the pool has been ordered and will be installed. PAC will continue maintaining heat in the equipment room at a low level and door sensors and additional security will be established. Perkins said Delaware Academy students will be working on a new design for the pool playground and an on-site kiosk will be established. Perkins discussed shared services and said a meeting went well with Delhi Village Trustee Barbara Jones and updating the comprehensive plan was dis-
cussed. Councilman Matthew Krzyston provided an update regarding the skating rink which will open when it’s cold enough for the ice to set at Sheldon Drive next to Delaware Academy. He said someone should be hired to maintain and shovel the ice skating rink and he made a motion, which was approved, to advertise the position for $1,500 for the season. “The rink is in good condition and a new liner was purchased last year,” he said. Last year, the bathroom the door was left open and pipes froze. The village incurred the expense to fix the piping. This season, the town has been in discussion with the village police to potentially stop in at dusk to check the rink and make sure that everything is shut down properly. In his supervisor’s report, Mark Tuthill discussed what is going on within the county. He said there was “rumbling going on regarding McFarland Farm” still being in contention for the new Delaware County Department of Public Works site. “People don’t give up - I don’t

see it happening,” he said. Perkins added that the McFarland location hasn’t been sold and it is not on the market. Tuthill updated the board on dealings regarding the Delaware County Social Services Commissioner Dana Scuderi-Hunter, who is on paid leave. “There are four dates set and there will be a meeting with a hearing officer stenographer, the county lawyer, Dana, as well as her attorney and whoever she chooses to comment,” he said. “If she wants to go public, that is her prerogative. Following the hearing the hearing officer will write a report and present it to the county board with his recommendations. I would expect by the end of October we will have a report by the hearing officer.” In other business, Councilman Bill Cairns said he is getting “zero response” out of SUNY Delhi College regarding the project to
revamp of the courtroom. “I am pretty sure they have lost interest in the project at that point,” he said. Cairns added that he and Councilman Krzyston conducted a walk-around audit of the town of Delhi building property and will be putting out bids for improvements which need to be made. Delhi Town Court Clerk Kathleen Tofts asked the board for permission to move into her own space, requiring a network to be added. The board approved that Tofts move into the current conference room in the building and district attorney consultations will take place in Judge Richard Gumo’s chambers until an additional alternative is determined. Cairns emphasized that a Citizens Preparedness Meeting will take place on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 6 p.m. at Delaware Academy. The Citizens Preparedness
Meeting will teach residents to have the tools and resources to prepare for any type of disaster, respond accordingly and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. This training course will provide an introduction to responding to a natural or man-made disaster. Participants will be advised on how to properly prepare for any disaster, including the development of family emergency plans and stocking up on emergency supplies. Each family that attends will receive one preparedness kit. Participants must register in advance. The event is brought to the public by Governor Andrew Cuomo in conjunction with the Delaware County Department of Emergency Services, the town of Delhi, the Delhi Fire Department and Delaware Academy.

Miller: Become A Volunteer Firefighter To Save Lives And Enrich Your Own By Assemblyman Brian Miller It is often said that having a strong sense of community or social engagement is the most important component to achieving personal fulfillment. In today’s technological era, it can be harder and harder to find connection in the real world, but volunteerism brings an opportunity not only to help improve the world around us, but also to enrich your own life and sense of purpose. One area where we have a great need for volunteers is in our volunteer fire companies and emergency responders. Because of our aging population, the number of volunteer firefighters and EMTs has dropped significantly. Not only is this a public safety concern that affects each of us, but it is also a fiscal one – volunteer firefighters save taxpayers $3 billion annually. To address this, I am proud to announce a new legislation package I am supporting. These bills aim to encourage more citizens to volunteer, particularly young adults (including those in high schools). In fact, the first of these bills would create a new scholar-
ship or student loan forgiveness program for those who volunteer as firefighters or emergency medical personnel (A.7809). The Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) also has a targeted program to assist young adults in becoming volunteers and help them get scholarships and other incentives to start their independent adult lives. Learn more about this program at: www.fasny.com/youth/. I am also working to better support those who are already volunteering by making it easier for them to leave work for mandatory fire prevention or EMS training (A.7827). Not only does this bill help the volunteers but also helps their employers by providing tax incentives to offset any lost wages or costs employers may face when their employees are away at these trainings. To ensure our state continues to do better for our volunteer fire and ambulance companies, I support legislation (A.8307) that would create a Commission on Volunteer Fire Departments. Overseen by the state’s Division of Homeland Security, the commission would investigate ways to better fund volunteer fire companies and provide for their capi-
tal improvements without hiking up taxes. I also am sponsoring legislation to exempt volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers from the state’s income tax (A.7655). Before being elected to the state Assembly, I was proud to help enact this program in Oneida County and am now hopeful we can make this exemption a reality statewide. Becoming a volunteer firefighter or ambulance worker offers many benefits, including training and education programs, scholarships, tuition reimbursement, reductions on your property taxes, free museum admission, service recognition, tax and pension credit, health insurance benefits and screenings and much more. Perhaps most importantly, volunteering can improve your sense of connection with our community and improve your outlook and skills. To learn more, contact your local volunteer fire company or go to www.fireinyou. org. Thank you so much to all those who already serve! As always, do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance, and for more updates, follow me on Facebook and Twitter.
Shining A Light On Farm Safety Week By Senator James L. Seward The week of September 1521 is designated National Farm Safety and Health Week and it is certainly an event meriting recognition. This year’s theme - “Shift Farm Safety into High Gear” – will highlight a number of topics including tractor safety, farmer health, and rural roadway safety. I have always been a strong supporter of state programs that assist our farmers and, in recent years, have had to step up the effort to protect many of these vital programs. The governor has consistently cut funding for several programs farmers count on from his state budget proposal. I have fought hard for restorations and have been successful in making sure key programs continue to receive state assistance. One specific agriculture safety initiative I have consistently supported is the highly successful New York Rollover Protection System (ROPS) Rebate Program. Several years ago, the program lost state assistance leaving many farmers in the lurch. However, in recent years funding for this lifesaving program has remained consistent, including $250,000 in the current 2019-20 state budget. This is a small expenditure, but it can mean the difference between life and death. According to the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH), a Bassett Healthcare Network program,
which administers the ROPS program, the tractor is the leading cause of death on the farm. To go a few steps further: • The fatality rate for farmers is 800 percent higher than all American workers; • The most frequent cause of tractor related deaths are side and rear overturns; • Farmers in the northeast experience the highest rates of overturn death; • 80 percent of deaths caused by rollovers happen to experienced farmers; • One in seven farmers involved in tractor overturns are permanently disabled; • Seven out of 10 farms will go out of business within 5 years of a tractor overturn fatality. Newer tractor models built after 1985 have built-in rollover protection systems to help minimize injury in the event of a rollover. However, tractors are expensive and have a long lifespan, so many farmers are still utilizing older models without this lifesaving enhancement. By retrofitting older tractor models with a ROPS, lives can be saved. In the event of a rollover, the use of a ROPS and a seatbelt reduces the risk of injury and death by 99 percent. Farmers however are faced with a number of financial challenges every day. Utility costs and fuel expenses keep many farmers awake at night and make it difficult to make ends meet. For dairy farmers, the low and unpredictable price they receive for their
milk also takes a toll. That’s why when NYCAMH approached me several years ago with a request for funding for the ROPS Rebate Program, I was pleased to help. The New York ROPS Rebate Program offers farmers approximately 70 percent of the cost of purchasing and installing the roll bar system. Should the outof-pocket expense to a farmer be greater than $500, NYCAMH will increase the rebate to ensure that a farmer does not have to shoulder a higher expense. Over 1,500 tractors in New York state have been outfitted with the life-saving rollover protection since the program began. Several other states have followed in New York’s footsteps and are now providing funding to help expand the program nationally. Farmers interested in more information should call toll-free 1-877-ROPS-R4U (1-877-7677748) or check www.ropsr4u. com. Along with the funding, staff members will also research the type of equipment needed, provide estimated costs and let farmers know where they can purchase the life-saving system. Farmers deal with countless challenges every day. Anything that will ease their financial burden, increase productivity and enhance farm safety in the process has my strong support. Initiatives like the ROPS Rebate Program and similar programs help farmers succeed today, while, at the same time, strengthening and protecting the agriculture industry for generations to come.

Shelter Dogs Showcased At Halloween Themed Fun-raiser

Were-Woofs & Vam-Purrs Headline Event
By Lillian Browne DELHI - Despite a late-event rain shower, the 17th annual Were-Woofs & Vam-purrs themed Heart of the Catskills Humane Society’s dog walk fundraising event held on Saturday, Sept. 14 in Delhi, was deemed a tremendous success by shelter director Deb Crute. The day’s events included a dog walk, where participants secured “pledges” or promised donations for the number of laps walked with a dog; a 50/50 raffle; bake sale; dog maze; face painting as well as other activities. Canines and their owners, decked out in spooky, silly and perfectly appropriate costumes, participated in a best costume and best trick contest. Bev Kilmer of Hamden and her 10-year-old Sheltie “Sweetie” won the costume contest with their matching vampire outfits. Special events included a presentation by David Conner, an animal caretaker with Wolf Mountain Nature Center in Smyrna. Conner talked about the different types of wolves and coyotes housed at the center which include four subspecies of gray wolves and Arctic foxes. The foxes, Conner explained, use their paws like snow shoes, toes spread wide, to help them stay atop snow. All of the canines housed at the New York state licensed and Department of Environmental Conservation inspected center are vaccinated and have come to the center through various venues. A wolf in the wild, Conner said, will live between four and six years, whereas a wolf in captivity can live as long at 14 years. The oldest wolf at the center, he said, is 13 years old. It’s trickier to socialize coyotes than wolves, Conner continued, and socialization is easier to accomplish when the pups are young. None of the canines housed in the center will ever be released to the wild, he said, because they would be unable to easily survive. The center remains open on Sundays through the winter but is closed for the month of January. The center will celebrate its annual Honoring the Spirit of the Wolf Festival the Sunday of Columbus Day weekend where attendees can participate in tours, see sled dog demonstrations, a Native American tipi program and more. More information is available at thewolfmountainnaturecenter.org. Missy Runyon of Friends of the Feathered & Furry Wildlife Center also gave a special presentation with a barn owl who is rehabilitating at the center. The facility helps injured and orphaned wildlife and offers educational programs focused on peaceful coexistence. Terry Hannum, representing the SUNY Delhi Vet Science program, was on hand with a anatomy education exhibit where attendees learned about the similarities and difference between the bones in the arm of a human and a wing of a bat and/or a bird. As part of her education station, Hannum had Brown Bats on display which had succumbed to “white-nose” syndrome. There were a variety of activities for dogs to participate in including an obstacle course and a

Longtime shelter volunteer Marie VanValkenburg constructed a ‘Transylmazia’ obstacle course to challenge dogs and their caregivers at the Halloween-themed event. Transylmazia maze, constructed by long-time shelter volunteer Marie VanValkenburg of Delhi. The maze was modeled after the American Kennel Club Rally Team sport competition which demonstrates a level of clear communication between dog and human and engages a dog by giving it a job. Many alumni of the shelter participated in the event including Caribou, a four-year-old Labrador retriever mix breed, and his adopter Alyisha Korba, who competed in the best dog trick contest by demonstrating “shaking hands” and “speaking” skills. Alumna celebrity Ella, fiveyear-old Labrador mix - a therapy dog who graduated from a training program in 2017 with her owner Brent Truitt of New Kingston - also participated in the event.
Ella visits the Mountainside Residential Nursing Home in Margaretville every Tuesday, and according to Truitt, has a very calming presence. Ella is also trained to partner with children who are learning to read and will happily sit and listen to children mastering reading aloud. Ella has likewise been used in courtroom settings to help calm children when they have to testify. Ella and Truitt happily handed out Ella’s “business card” where some of her notable facts and stats are listed, including: her favorite toy - a tennis ball; favorite activity - riding in the car and taking long walks; favorite treat - string cheese, and greatest accomplishment - earning her good citizen certificate and passing her first team evaluation in 2017. Truitt welcomes opportunities
to work with Ella in different settings and can be reached at 845586-5108. The shelter is currently housing approximately 250 dogs and cats in need of homes. The shelter has an abundance of kittens as well as cats, available for adoption. Because of the number of cats, Crute said, the shelter is in need of canned and dry cat food, cat treats and toys. The toys, Crute said, help them pass the time while they are housed in cages waiting to be
adopted. The shelter welcomes other donations including financial donations and dry and canned dog food. The shelter will host its annual Holiday For the Heart fundraiser on Dec. 7 at the Delaware County Historical Association in Delhi. That event, Crute said, grows every year. Last year there were nearly 400 people at the tree event. This year, Crute said, she is hoping to see that number grow. “Our adopters, staff, volunteers, board members and community all have huge hearts and that’s what keeps Heart of the Catskills Humane Society operating,” Crute said. Adoption and visiting hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and by appointment. For more information about the Heart of the Catskills Humane Society call 607-746-3080, visit heartofthecatskills.org or 46610 State Highway 10, Delhi.

Sidney Students Showcase What’s Growing On At Fourth Annual Harvest Dinner By Allison Collins Sidney Farm-to-School, a Sidney Central School District initiative dedicated to growing and bringing fresh foods to students, hosted its fourth annual “Evening in the Garden” harvest dinner Tuesday, Sept. 10, with roughly 60 attending. The event, organizers said, is a chance to showcase students’ efforts to parents, fellow students and members of the community. The menu featured vegetables, fruit and protein grown and harvested from the school gardens or local farms. “It’s a celebration of school gardening and everybody that had a hand in it,” Sidney teacher and past program adviser Josh Gray said. “We invite school board members, school administrators, members of the local Hill & Valley Garden Club and the Sidney Shade Tree Committee, the mayor’s office and parents of the kids that participated.” “The number of groups we work with has grown,” Gray continued, “so that’s a nice thing and something that I’m looking forward to.” Planning for this year’s dinner, he noted, started last June as part of the district’s longterm action plan. “This brings together all of our partners, parents and people in the community to celebrate what we’ve done,” Kevin Brouillard, incoming Sidney Farm-to-School educator, echoed. Though previously hosted by the elementary-level Green Thumb Growers Guild under the auspices of Sidney Farm-toSchool, Gray said, the club, like the program, is transitioning into a schoolwide model. Brouillard, formerly with the Rural Health Network, part of AmeriCorps, said after his service term ends in October, he will assume a permanent post with the Sidney program.

Integrating the club’s aims into the district’s K through 12 classrooms, Gray and Brouillard said, is part of an overarching mission. “It can be hard to bring those enrichment-style programs into the classroom on your own,” Brouillard said. “I’ll be working with teachers to do things like journaling in (English) classrooms or finding the perimeter of a garden bed in math class. We’re trying to make it a 12-month curriculum and really increase the cooking.” “I think there’s a recognition that our kids need to connect with where their food comes from,” Gray said. “And a small

MASH Camp Dates Announced Each year UHS Delaware Valley Hospital holds a MASH Camp for students in grades 10-12. The program is an opportunity for students to learn more about healthcare careers and the educational requirements for those careers. This year the camp will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 15 and 16. Students attend one full day of camp, during which they visit each patient care area of the hospital, speak with the staff, and in many departments, have a hands-on experience. Students
will spend time in primary care, the emergency department, lab, pharmacy, radiology, the medical unit, cardiopulmonary (respiratory) and physical therapy departments. Because the day is interactive, participation is limited to 30 students. Applications can be obtained from the guidance office in area schools or you may contact the UHS Delaware Valley Hospital Human Resource Department at 607-865-2171 and speak with Cindy Gardepe, director. The deadline for applications is Oct. 9.
after school club isn’t enough to meet the needs of that kind of experience. We want to increase agriculture classes for high schoolers and try to involve all (grades), during the daytime, so there’s a shift to try to bring Farm-to-School to every student at Sidney.” Increased efforts will complement ongoing activities at the school such as monthly taste tests in the cafeteria; smoothiemaking blender bikes; a mobile cooking cart; a self-sustaining aquaponics system; and hoop houses for year-round growing. SCSD parents and kids said they appreciate the district’s focus on providing farm-fresh foods. “I love it and I think it’s awesome,” Sidney parent Leeta Crowley, said. Crowley’s seventhgrader Sarah and fifth-grader Shannon have participated in the program for two years. “They love being outdoors and they’re the ones that actually make me get involved,” Crowley continued. “It’s had a great impact on kids and they enjoy eating healthy stuff that they can pick in their garden then use in the kitchen to make a meal.” Kelly Post, a Sidney parent, credited her sixth-grade son Carter’s participation with broadening his culinary horizons. Carter has been involved for three years. “It really helped expand his diet,” she said. “He was pretty apprehensive before, but this encouraged him to try new things that he wouldn’t have even touched before.” “I started (in the growers guild) because my friend was doing it, but I stayed because it was really fun,” Carter, 11, said. “When we grow our own food, it’s healthier, so people should do it more often.” For more information or to volunteer, email Brouillard at kbrouillard@sidneycsd.org or visit sidneycsd.org.
Delhi’s Marianne Greenfield Crochets Pieces To Benefit Delaware Academy Club By Rosie Cunningham
DELHI - A Delhi resident’s passion and natural talent with a crochet hook will benefit a Delaware Academy club. Marianne Greenfield, who operates as “Snug as a Hug” is selling items at Crossroads Café in the village of Delhi and will donate 10 percent of the proceeds to the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America at Delaware Academy (FCCLA). According to Greenfield, Pam Guy, the owner of Crossroads, exhibits the work of artists and artisans in the eatery. She said she chose FCCLA to profit from her sales because a friend’s daughter is in the club. Greenfield, 71, said crocheting is very much a “passion of hers” which she initiated merely 13 years ago. “A 97-year-old blind woman gave me one lesson - she was a brilliant at crocheting and knitting and I admired her work,” said Greenfield. She added that she is mostly self-taught aside from the help of friends, and that she only knows two stitches and doesn’t know how to read patterns. “I make it up along the way,” she laughed. For sale in Crossroads are a variety of items - many have been sold and replaced - lap blankets, infinity scarves, regular scarves, hats, bed jackets, ponchos and shawls, to name a few. Greenfield said she believes “yarn is a fabric that connects womens’ lives, more so than cloth.” She said over the years she has “certainly” created hundreds of pieces with her crochet hooks. “I believe it helps my hands so that I don’t get arthritis even worse,” she said. Following the sales generated at Crossroads, she said she would like to look into other venues where she can sell her products and contribute to schools in the

area. She incorporates the school colors as much as possible. “It’s all about the kids at the end of the day,” she said. Terri Sherman, FCCLA advisor at DA, explained that the club is a national career and technical student organization that is part of the family and consumer sciences curriculum that began as FHA in 1945. The club is open to any student grades 6-12 who has taken a family consumer science class. “We focus on leadership, service learning and family,” she said. “All of my middle school students plan and organize or help with community service projects and work on things like communication skills, teamwork, decision making, responsibility and career exploration.” Sherman currently has nine students in the club and high school member Sarah Ackerly is the chapter president as well as the NYS FCCLA president. Jessica Coleman, a junior, is a New York state officer elect - she is completing a year of training and will be installed as an officer at our state conference in April at Villa Roma in Callicoon. “When I told the members about Mrs. Greenfield’s generous offer, they wondered if she’d come show them some crocheting basics,” she said. “They are excited about learning a new skill.”

Cars are due to arrive mid-day. Agricultural and community history exhibits can be found in the History Tent. This year’s featured display is about the Grange and its impacts on farms, families and national agricultural policies. The Historical Society of the Town of Middletown will also share photos and artifacts from the cauliflower growing in-
dustry which flourished in the Catskills from the 1890s through the 1950s. The Pure Catskills Tent will be filled with members of this valuable organization.

Governor Announces State Historic Preservation Nominations For Registers Of Historic Places First Presbyterian Church of Deposit Among Candidates
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has announced that the New York State Board for Historic Preservation has recommended adding 14 properties, resources and districts to the State and National Registers of Historic Places. “These storied sites represent exceptional and fascinating pieces of New York’s rich and diverse history,” Governor Cuomo said. “Adding these properties to the State and National Registers of Historic Places would ensure they have the funding they need so we can protect, preserve and promote them in all of their full glory for present and future generations of New Yorkers.” State and National Registers listing can assist in revitalizing buildings, making them eligible for various public preservation programs and services, such as matching state grants.
Once the recommendations are approved by the state historic preservation officer, the properties are listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places and then nominated to the National Register of Historic Places, where they are reviewed and, once approved, entered on the National Register. Among the nominations is the First Presbyterian Church of Deposit which was built in 1880. The church was designed by architect Lawrence B. Valk (1838-1924) of New York City, an important designer of Protestant churches who specialized in the auditorium plan church - which featured open plans, curving pews, radiating aisles, and sloping floors to minimize the distance between the congregation and the preacher.

A Day To Let God Love You By Janet Schwengber September is the month we celebrate Labor Day. Labor Day is a national U.S. holiday held on the first Monday every September. It actually was first celebrated in 1882 in New York City under the direction of that city’s Central Labor Union. It was designed as a city-wide event that brought different types of workers together to meet each other and share their common interests and concerns in the work force. The history of this holiday celebration was born in the fact that in the 1830s manufacturing workers were required to put in 70 hour work weeks. The purpose of Labor Day was to focus on winning a shorter eight-hour work day which would lead to a 40 hour work week. The origins of Labor Day therefore was for the purpose of looking for two things: a means of unifying workers and a reduction in work time.
We have benefited from these past workers. Our work week is now accepted as a 40 hour week. Today this strange celebration, without any rituals, is simply a day for shopping and barbecuing. For most of us it marks the last real weekend of summer and the start of the school year. So now on this Labor Day we have a “rest from our labors.” The day you haven’t got anything to do so why not simply let God love you? A day in which we could be thankful that most of us can labor. A day in which we could show our concerns and care for those who cannot labor. A day in which we could slow down and share the love of God with all our fellow workers and laborers. A day in which we can celebrate the fact that we are given the gift of “work.” But we are not very good at that – of letting God love you – primarily because we often think of ourselves as independent from God. First of all, we are told in
Genesis 1:26 that we are all made in the image of God and again that God was delighted in this creation (Genesis 1:31). Then the apostle Paul tells us that we are God’s work of art (Ephesians 2:10 Jerusalem Translation). We are also told by the prophet Isaiah that we are precious and honored and loved by God (Isaiah 43:4). Perhaps our days of labor and our jobs are a distraction from feeling God’s love. We are often too busy to imagine our life of work as that of the work of God. We often need a time to get our view of ourselves back into God’s perspective. Labor Day – actually the whole month of September – could become that time that we slow or pace and open ourselves to the reality that we are God’s creation of love and we need a day to let God love us! Happy Labor Days! Janet Schwengber, Ph.D. United Church of Christ, First Congregational Church, Walton.

DA Falls To Greene In MAC Soccer Action By Rosie Cunningham Delaware Academy fell to Greene 9-0 in the Midstate Athletic Conference action Thursday. Scout McCumiskey netted three goals and Terriek Brown executed a hat trick as well for Greene, who led by four at halftime. “We came out aggressive and determined from the start, scor-
ing quickly,” said Greene Coach Richard Tallman. “The team displayed consistent possessive play and maintained control of the play throughout the game. “Offensively, Alec Frair and Calob Davenport controlled the middle of the field for our team. Terriek Brown and Scout McCumiskey led the scoring charge netting a hat trick each. Jonny Lee, our striker created a lot of separation and was able to clear
up space for others with his fluid striker runs. Defensively Trenton Rapp and Nolan Butler did a tremendous job slowing down and distinguishing any Delhi attacks or counter attempts. Dustin Markham and Aidan Kiefer played a nice supportive role on the defensive end as well. Burt Kinney displayed a shining contributive role off the bench and aided the defensive shut out in the second half. Keeper Nick
Shoemaker played a commanding role as he directed defensive positioning and control from the net.” After three initial goals by Greene, DA settled in and played a more controlled game for the remainder of the first half. Into the second half Greene repeated the same effort and determination scoring four more unanswered goals within 12:35 minutes. “It was an overall team deter-
mined statement that we wanted to make,” said Tallman. “Losing nine seniors last season (eight of which were starters) many teams viewed us as being down and rebuilding. Although there is much work to be done, we felt that a strong showing with Delhi, whom was also undefeated at the time, would send a statement to the league.”
had nine stops in the loss and had an “outstanding” performance, according to SK Coach Bob VanValkenburgh. “The team played great as a group and we had many opportunities in first half,” he said. “In the second half, we were able to take care of our opportunities. Defense has been solid all year and we have been playing as a group. Getting a goal 30 seconds into the first half was a big momentum swing.” The Rams out shot the Leaopards 15-8.

Alivia Cordero converted a pass from Marisol Flores into a goal to make the score 3-1. Cortnea Demaio responded once again, followed by Leigha Lalosh who got the final goal courtesy of Alina Chojnowski. “The girls seem to be meshing well and playing well together and their connection was key on Saturday,”
said Roxbury Coach Lisa Faraci. “There was really no stand out, as it was a total team effort but if anything stood out it would be we did a great job matching up with our opponent and keeping them out of their routine. It definitely didn’t hurt scoring early though. I think the girls are young, but performed like they were a more experienced team with the way they handled the hype of the game and played consistent throughout the game.”

Rosie’s Rounds By Rosie Cunningham
This past week has resulted in some great soccer matches in both the Delaware League and the Midstate Athletic Conference. Hats off to the Lady Rockets for taking home the Stamford Mayor’s Cup in a win over Margaretville. On Monday, the South Kortright boys defeated foe Margaretville in a Delaware League match-up.

consistent force on the soccer field. On the boys side for MAC, Delaware Academy Coach Eddie Kingston had it right when he said Greene would be the team to beat for boys soccer.

Warren Pardee had 95 yards rushing including a 51 yard touchdown run.”
Unatego Girls Varsity Soccer has been a powerhouse this season and Dana Stepp has been an offensive force. This is Stepp’s fourth year on varsity according to head coach Sue Herodes. “She came to varsity in eighth grade,” she said. “She has developed athletically and emotionally over the years.

Sidney defeated Charlotte Valley (CV) 4-2 in a non-league soccer match-up on Friday. Standout Savannah Baldwin tallied three goals - a hat trick for the Warriors. Emma Simmons netted the fourth goal for Sidney off of a pass from Kyra Moorhead. “I had been using Emma in different roles so far, but she really stood out on the attack on Friday,” said Sidney Coach Jody Gravelin. “She was constantly looking to feed the ball to her teammates.” For CV, Elizabeth Gerster and Aleigha Brockway each had a goal and teammate Mackenzie
Conklin registered an assist. “Even though we scored four goals, it never really seemed like a 4-0 game,” said the Sidney coach. “There was a lot of back and forth play. However, with about five minutes remaining, they scored their first goal, and it really gave them momentum, and then they scored their second shortly after. I was thankful that time was running out.” Sidney’s Meghan Greco made three stops for the Warriors and for CV, Kayla Mace of the Wildcats had six saves. “I am hoping we reached a turning point in our season, as we really started to play together as a team,” said Gravelin.

Mingle, Charlotte Bayne, and Rylee MacDonald. “Besides them, we had a lot of other players that hustled and put in a lot of work on both offense and defense,” she added. For the Bulldogs, Lauren Packard and Sophia Wakin had a goal apiece. “The game went very well overall,” said the Warrior coach. “We have been struggling with keeping our formation the last few games, but this game we did an excellent job staying in position and communicating with one another. During the game I think that a moment of momentum for us was after we scored our first goal. This gave my girls the confidence to play as good as I know that they can, and to really work together as a team to keep the lead. Another moment of momentum was when the other team scored, we did a great job keeping our heads up and maintaining our composure to try to keep them from scoring again to take the lead.” The Warriors (1-3-1) travel to Unadilla Valley at 4:30 p.m. for a match on Thursday, Sept. 19.

South Kortright Girls Edges Downsville In DL Soccer By Rosie Cunningham
SOUTH KORTRIGHT - The Rams defeated the Eagles 2-1 at home in a physical game last Wednesday. SK Coach Josh Burroughs said it was defense that led the team to victory. Freshman Madison Coberly and teammate Kiersten Acer found the back of the net for the girls in blue against their league rivals. The game was the first of the season between two teams that played three
matches in 2018, including the league and section finals. “Downsville is always a competitive team,” said Burroughs said of the opponents. Eagle Kailee Young scored the lone goal for Downsville with just over seven minutes on the clock as she collected a pass from teammate Zelda Adams. Grace Schneider stopped six shots and Olivia Brunner tallied five saves for Downsville according to the score book.

Coming home after supper out on Sunday evening I found a beautiful mum plant that was left for me. Now being it was Grandparents’ Day, I’m sure it was left by my Grandson Franklin. My only disappointment was that I wasn’t home because Franklin knows where my cookie jar is and we have milk and cookies together. I love Franklin for being so thoughtful and I’m proud to share him with Florence Grill for my grandson.

Historical Association, Delhi, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Saturday, Sept. 21, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. come to the Delhi Historical Society Cannon House for Bill Cash Collection Day. Bill will display collections inherited from his dad, Bill, and several of his own. Sept. 21 is the annual Delhi Harvest Festival. Vendors will line the Courthouse Square and Main Street.

The DeLancey Presbyterian Church is beautiful. The pulpit furniture is black walnut upholstered in plush. The chairs were rescued from the flames. A new pulpit to match was purchased with funds presented by
the United Presbyterian Church of Walton. The auditorium is lighted with a double burner Bailey reflector which not only gives ample light to every part of the room but is very ornamental. With wide substantial stone steps and six foot stone walks across the lawn and leading to each entrance, the Church presents an attractive appearance and has been a source of wonder and remarks by strangers, visitors and workmen who have come to the village, that so handsome a church could be built in so small a place. When told that people come from miles around, over the hills and up the valleys to worship here the mystery is explained. The cost of the new Church and furnishings approximate $5500 which does not include voluntary labor, no small item for the people had a mind to work - hauling lumber, sand and stone, excavating, grading and etc. This Church was dedicated less than a year after the other Church burned. About 50 years after the Church was built and dedicated, in 1947 one more memorial window was added in the east narthex. This one bearing the inscription ‘I Am
the Bread of Life’ was given in memory of the Fyffe family. The donors were second and third generation Fyffes who had given of their time, talents and funds in the work of the Church. This concludes my information on the history of the DeLancey Church. Even though the church is not as active as back in the 1960s through 1980s, all are welcome to morning worship services on Sundays on a rotation with the West Delhi and Hamden Presbyterian Churches. Grandma’s recipe this week is for Refrigerator Pickles: 8 large cucumbers, thinly sliced, 4 medium onions, thinly sliced, 4 cups sugar, 4 cups vinegar, 1/4 cup salt, 1 1/3 tsp turmeric, 1 1/3 tsp celery seed, 1 1/3 tsp mustard seed. Layer cucumbers and onions in 3-4 quart jars. Mix together sugar, vinegar, salt, tumeric, celery seed and mustard seed. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Cover cukes and onions with cold syrup and put lids on jars. Refrigerate for 5 days before using. My thoughts of the week: Our leaves are beginning to turn color - so far just yellows. There are a

Keep Factory Waste From Streams–Mexican Medals for Co. F–Graduates Enter Schools. Kermit Laidlaw, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Laidlaw, had the ends of three fingers of his left hand severed when his hand was caught in a shaper which he was operating at the novelty works. Dr. W. B. Morrow dressed the injury. Dr. E. Ray Gladstone of Walton was elected coroner last fall after he had entered the medical corps of the army. Dr. Gladstone qualified for the office after his election and cases in this vicinity requiring the attention of the coroner may be referred to him. The Ogden Free Library has been repainted this week by Robert Leal and E. F. Thomson. The work of repairing the stone work on the building, money for which was raised by a membership drive last spring, will begin at once and as much work done as the funds raised will permit. The First National Bank of Walton has been appointed as a fiscal agent of the federal government for the sale of $100 and $1,000 treasury savings certificates. These certifiactes are the same as the war savings stamps except that they are issued in $100 and $1,000 denominations instead of $5. If held to maturity, five years, they bear four per cent interest compounded. Walter Knight has sold the Clayton house, Liberty street, to James France. Walter W. Jones has bought the Joseph Gibson place, High street. Mrs. W. T. Moore has sold her house on East street to Frank Bowker of Margaretville. These sales were made through the agency of H. M. Robinson, who has also bought this week for himself the John Lunn property, upper Stockton avenue. Two sections of the macadam road under construction up Third Brook, under the direction of Town Superintendent John S. Tuttle, were treated with a tarvia

The Reporter
Following is the list of Walton high school students who are entering higher institutions this fall: Everett Holley, Wesleyan university; Ellen Hanford, Russell Doig, Cornell university; Harold White, Rensselaer Polytechnic institute; Myrtle Bagley, New England Conservatory Music; Agnes Campbell, School of Business Administration, Syracuse university; Gertrude Fagan, School of Dramatic Art, N. Y.; James Wilbur, Cornell (transfer from N. Y. state college); Hawley Fitch, Hamilton. Normal: Everett Barnes, Leona Doig, Plattsburg; Nina Hodge, Oneonta. Most of these students began their studies this week. It was announced by Adjutant General Berry Friday that a design has been selected for the Mexican border medal to be issued by the state. The obverse of the medal will bear a representation of the Aztec God of war, Huitzilopochtli, and on the reverse will appear the coat of arms of the state with the words, “Mexican Border Service, 1916-1917. Presented by the State of New York.” The colors of the ribbon will be green, white, red, white and blue in the order named. The badge is to be issued to all those who enlisted from this state and served in Mexico or on the Mexican border between June 18, 1916, and April 5, 1917, as members of the National Guard, the Army, Navy or Marine Corps of the United States, and also to those who served in the field in 1916 for more than ten days under orders of the governor directing their organizations to be assembled for Mexican border duty. Application blanks for the medals may be obtained at the local armory or from The Adjutant General’s office, Albany. All members of Co. F, First Infantry, who were called to Camp Whitman, are entitled to the medal. Proper disposition of dairy wastes from creameries and the wastes from wood alcohol factories is just now having the particular attention of the conservation commission in its intensified cam-
paign against stream pollution in New York state. For this purpose, a field party, consisting of an engineer, a biologist and a chemist, has started a survey of such factories as are discharging their wastes into the streams of Orange, Sullivan and Delaware counties. As the law specifically states that discharge of wastes into streams to an extent “that is injurious to fish life,” is prohibited, it will be the work of the conservation commission’s field party to find, so far as is possible, just what is the effect upon the inhabitants of the stream of the discharges from the various plants. Throughout the investigation, which is being carried on by the conservation commission under an appropriation authorized at the last session of the legislature, a prime object will be co-operation with the various factories in the finding of practical means of disposing of their wastes, other than discharging them into streams in a form that is injurious to fish life.
STAMFORD OFFICE ROBBED OF $1,400 Safe Blown Open With Nitro After Yeggs Forced Entrance
MAY HAVE GOTTEN BANK NOTES Muffled Explosions Failed to Arouse Residents and Burglars Escaped in Auto. The Stamford post office was broken into early last Friday morning, September 12, the safe blown open with nitro-glycerine and about $1,400 in cash and stamps secured. The swing doors leading to the hallway of the town hall, where the post office is located, are kept unlocked. The yeggmen entered the hallway, and pried open the door leading into the post office corridor, and thence easy access was had to the inner office. The casings of both doors were forced off or broken, the locks not being tampered with in either instance. The entire front of the safe was badly wrecked and its contents scattered about the building. It is believed that three explosions were used to reach the interior of the safe, two of which were heard by residents of the village, who arose and looked about, but seeing nothing to arouse their curiosity, again retired, so that nothing was known of the robbery until the arrival of Hamilton Griffin, an employee of the office, about seven o’clock the next morning. Nitro-glycerine was probably used, but little damage was done to the office by the explosion. An old coat and several blankets had been taken from the livery stable of W. M. Canfield to muffle the sound of the explosions, and these, together with a sledge hammer, a chisel, a wrench and some other tools were left behind. The post office at Stamford has been burglarized on several different occasions and the safe which was blown open Friday morning is the same one which was damaged the last time an attempt was made to force it, the yeggmen being frightened away for some reason at that time, and it had been repaired and used ever since. This time, however, it is damaged beyond repair. The National Bank of Stamford had received notification from the government that a package containing $8,800 of bank notes had been sent by registered mail, which has not yet been received. A package answering the same description addressed to the bank was placed in the safe that night by Postmaster L. A. Govern, and it is believed that the yeggmen escaped with this also. If that is the case, they made a fairly good haul, but the bank will not sustain any loss, as the package had not yet been taken from the post office. The bulk of the post office funds, which usually run around $15,000 are deposited in the vault’ of the bank each afternoon, so that only a comparatively small
amount is kept in the post office safe. The yeggmen doubtless traveled by automobile.
SIDNEY MUSIC STORE BURNED OUT SUNDAY Damage to Lewis Building and Store Placed at $20,000
POOL ROOM BADLY DAMAGED Flames Worked Way Into Walls and Firemen Had Hard Fight to Overcome Them – Seven Families Out. Fire, which broke out during the noon hour Sunday, gutted the Lewis block in Sidney, formerly known as Music Hall, and caused damage estimated at $20,000. The Larkin music store on the first floor suffered the heaviest loss. The building is located at the corner of Main and River streets, directly opposite the old Central hotel block. It is a three story frame structure and one of the oldest buildings in the village. It was occupied by the Larkin music store and the pool room of H. A. Lee on the first floor, an Italian barber shop, recently opened, in the basement, and the second and third floors by seven families, as follows: Grant Latourette, Junius Smith, Arthur Hebbler, R. A. Ormsby, Walter Male, Miss Florence Shumway and Sherman Shepard. The fire originated in the work room at the rear of the Larkin store and worked up the walls to the garret which was very high, as when the third floor was changed from a hall to apartments the ceiling was lowered. The fire was very threatening at first and as other valuable buildings are close by a call was sent to Oneonta for assistance. The Larkin store had a fine line of pianos and musical instruments, Francis Larkin, the head of the concern, being the representative of a large concern manufacturing band instruments. Some of the pianos were removed but the balance of the stock is a total loss. The six pool and billiard tables in the Lee pool room were removed. The fire was discovered at 12:25 o’clock and it was three hours before the fire was completely under control. The roof and garret were burned off but the balance of the structure was saved. The contents, with the exception of the goods removed, were practically ruined by the water and debris which fell. All the occupants of the flats carried insurance approximating their losses with the exception of Hebbler and Shepard, who had none. Practically all of their furniture and effects are ruined. The building is owned by the David Lewis estate, the chief heirs residing in Deposit. It is understood that the building is insured. As soon as the fire was safely out the Fire Relief organization held a meeting and made provision for the families rendered homeless by the fire.
SIDNEY CAUCUS SET ASIDE Jutice Kellogg Rules Primary Invalidated by Voting of Enrolled Voters of Other Parties. In Oneonta Friday upon the return of the show cause order as to the Republican caucus at Sidney, a great many from Sidney were in attendance and Justice Kellogg after hearing attorneys Charles O’Connor of Hobart and Herbert Kibbe and Henry Sewell of Sidney, decided that the chairman was right in permitting the unenrolled voters to participate in the caucus, because the Republican county committee had established no rule to the contrary and section seventeen of the election law did not apply to town caucuses, but on account of the vote of those enrolled with other parties, num-
bering about 40, he set aside the caucus and directed that a new one be called in which such votes can be challenged and excluded. Arthur B. Martin received 193 votes for supervisor at the caucus and Joseph M. Moore 141 votes. It appears that of those voting about 133 were not enrolled as Republicans, and that from 20 to 30 were enrolled Democrats and about 9 Prohibitionists. From the result of this caucus the appeal was taken. Relative to the votes cast by Republicans of the town who were not enrolled but voted, Justice Kellogg holds that “all bona fide members of the Republican party, whether enrolled or not, were entitled to vote in the absence of regulations by the county committee relative to the qualifications of voters.” It is clear, however, the court says, that no enrolled member of any other party had a right so to vote.
AMERICAN LEGION CONVENTION HERE Veterans of Great War Will Meet in Walton Next Friday
AFTERNOON BUSINESS SESSION Membership in Legion Now Numbers More Than Four Hundred in Delaware County. Friday, September 26, marks the date of the first annual county convention of the American Legion in Delaware county. Three months ago, almost to a day, the first post of the legion was organized in the county. This was on June 29th. This post is known as the Truman C. Tobey Post No. 32 of Walton. Delaware county was the first county in New York state outside of greater New York to be honored with a post. On the last ranking of counties in the state, issued by the state headquarters, Delaware county ranks eighth in organization, being preceded only by New York, Kings, Monroe, Westchester, Bronx, Onondaga and Nassau counties in the order named. Walton, being the first place organized in Delaware county became naturally the county headquarters of the Legion. Charles N. Peake was appointed county chairman and organizer by C. W. Wickersham, state chairman, and later confirmed by Ogden L. Mills, who confirmed Wickersham. Under Mr. Peake’s direction nine posts have been chartered and organized into working bodies with a reported membership in each under date of Sept. 15th as follows: Truman C. Tobey Post, No. 32, Walton, 148; James S. Moore Post, No. 167, Downsville, 43; Charles L. Jacobi Post, No. 183, Sidney, 64; Donald W. Gleason Post, No. 190, Delhi, 47; James D. Calhoun Post, No. 200, Andes, 15; Raymond Spickerman Post, No. 202, Hobart, 34; Middletown Township Póst, No. 216; Margaretville, 19; Hancock Post, No. 289, Hancock, 29; Ernest Hubbard Post, No. 290, Stamford, 15; total membership, 414. It is the wish of the national body to have at least one-fourth of the eligible membership of the nation enrolled as members by the 20th of September. New York state had 452,409 men in service and her quota of the 1,000,000 asked is 104,476. Delaware county sent 1,681 men into the service. Her quota is 400, so that the county has already gone over the top. Her enrollment will reach nearly 600 before the date of the convention. The county convention will be called in the armory at 2 p. m. Friday, September 26. Every veteran is invited to attend, whether a delegate or not. At 7 o’clock in the evening a banquet will be served to the Legionnaries and their wives and sweethearts in the dining hall of the armory, the hostesses being the Ladies of the G. A. R. Circle, Woman’s Relief Corps, Co. F Auxiliary, Eastern Star and Rebekah lodges. At 9 o’clock the

first county American Legion dance will be held in the armory drill hall. Music will be furnished by a twelve-piece orchestra. Great preparations are being made to make this the greatest social event of the war and its aftermath for the soldiers, sailors and marines. Everyone should support the Legion and attend the functions at the armory. The Legion has adopted as its slogan “America for Americans.” The delegates from the Truman C. Tobey Post to the convention are Earl S. St. John, Charles T. O’Neill, Rev, C. S. Wyckoff and Cyrus Conner.
FELL FROM LOAD OF STRAW J. W. Hawk of Corbett in Critical Condition. (From Corbett cor.) J. W. Hawk, who resides about three miles from Corbett up Campbell Brook, met with a very painful accident Saturday. Mr. Hawk had purchased a load of oat straw of A. K. Young. After loading the straw he placed his fork on the load and started for home. When near the Vernold farm Mr. Hawk saw that the fork was about to hop from the wagon, he reached for it, lost his balance and fell from the load, striking on his head and shoulders. He was assisted to his load by Forrest Hobart and managed to drive home but has been unable to do anything since and is in a critical condition.
FORMER OUTING PLANT SOLD Kelly & Steinman Will Erect New Factory at Deposit. Kelly & Steinman, cut glass manufacturers, have sold their factory building at Deposit, formerly the Outing plant, to Pearson & Rausch, silk mill proprietors. Kelly & Steinman will retain possession of that portion of the plant occupied by their business until a suitable site has been decided upon and a new factory built, which will probably be soon. It is their purpose to build near the railroad station so as to eliminate in a large measure the item of cartage.

arcliff. The intervention of the supreme court of Westchester county has been sougth, and Justice Platt now has a petition for an injunction under consideration. “Two factions are contesting over management of the high school. One faction heard that George Plumb, of Stamford, had an excellent plan of school management and hired him as principal to put it into effect at Briarcliff. The other faction, supporting Horatio Baum, the principal who has been superseded, called a special meeting of the school district at which the Plumb school plan was denounced. An election was held, and four men, friendly to Principal Baum were elected. The new school board renewed a contract with Baum. The Plumb partisans appealed to the state board of education, which considered the case last week, while the friends of Mr. Baum sought an injunction to restrain Mr. Plumb from acting as principal pending trial of an action to nullify his contract.”
Re-let Kelsey Stage Route. (From Hancock cor.) The Kelsey-Hancock stage route was resubmitted for bids recently and the new contract, to July 1, 1921, awarded to Jonas P. Frazier, the former carrier, at $700 per year.
Raised $150 For Andes Band. (From Andes cor.) The ball game last Saturday between the married and single men of the Andes band resulted in a score of 9 and 5 in favor of the married men. Considering that some of the men on both sides had not played ball in years, the game was a very interesting one. A subscription paper was circulated that day and about $150 was pledged or paid toward new uniforms for the band. The band is doing excellent work and should have the support of every citizen.
MAY NOT SURVIVE FALL Aged Mrs. Mary Keller in Serious Condition From Accident. (From Cannonsville cor.) George Keeler of Cannonsville received word that his mother, Mrs. Mary Keeler, who resides with her daughter, Mrs. Henry Hunt, in Middletown, was confined to her bed by injuries sustained by falling. Owing to her advanced age, nearly 90 years, there are only slight hopes of her recovery. Mrs. Keller was a resident of Cannonsville for many years.

Last week’s trivia question was: What time on Sept. 5, 1944, was a minor earthquake felt in Delhi? For approximately one minute, the earthquake that centered in Ontario, Canada was felt in Delhi around 12:40 a.m. on a Tuesday morning. According to the news article, some residents were awakened by the shaking and others slept right through it. This week’s trivia question: How many birdies did the ladies of the Delhi College Women’s Golf Association get during their golf league this year? Community Volunteer of the week is Ian Lamont, who spearheaded a new event in Delhi last weekend called The Delhi Dish to Pass. He brought his idea that was sparked from an event he went to in Cooperstown, to the Immanuel Luthern Church. The committee loved the idea. Ian and his church group set up a table down Church Street, and people came with their dish to pass and enjoyed a meal together. Delhi Community Compost was there to collect any waste. Children were playing in the square. The Stoddard Hollow String Band volunteered their time to play music. There were crayons to label your dish or to color on the table paper tablecloth. It was a fabulous evening in Delhi, thanks to Ian and his group who made this happen. Ian said this will become an annual event, so if you weren’t able to attend, catch the next one. Sign-ups are still open for two workshops on Saturday, Sept. 28 at SUNY Delhi.

DELANCEY continued from page 17 lot of leaves on the trees this year so we are waiting to see how colorful they will be. I watched the TV weather channel this week to see where Hurricane Dorian will hit. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the folks in the Bahamas where there was so much destruction from it. We wonder how they will ever recover from it. Our states made out pretty good with not a lot of damage done. Lynn Kinch’s joke of the week: Watching with interest as I built a greenhouse, my four- year-old nephew noticed I was bending more than a few nails. Finally he helpfully advised, “My dad has a hammer that pounds nails straight every time.” Senior Moments: When I was younger, I used to live life in the fast lane. Of course back then the speed limit was only 25 mph. A cute saying: The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age. Helpful Hint: Make homestyle stew just like the ones at your favorite diner, thicken soups and stews without using flour or cornstarch. Puree a few cooked veggies from the pot and stir them back into the stew for a hearty bowl everyone will enjoy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” A reminder, parents, pictures next week - dress your students accordingly. The following week on Thursday, Sept. 26, elementary school open house from 6 until 7:30 p.m. Here on the Farm some more second cutting wrapped bales were done and with the threat of rain during this week and lots of cloudy weather no more hay was cut. The hoof trimmer is coming on Monday and Tuesday to trim the cows’ feet and make them more comfortable to walk in the free stall barn. The weather is supposed to be good the next few days so the fellas will be cutting, baling and wrapping some more third cutting hay. The corn is growing well and it was nice to get some rain to help the ears grow more. There will be a Corn DryDown Day at the Franklin Town Barn on the Corner of state Route 357 and County Rt. 21 on Wednesday, Sept. 18 and at Del-Rose Farm in Bloomville at the Hanselman’s - county Rt. 18, from 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. both days. Farmers are invited to bring 5-7 cornstalks for dry matter testing. Knowing the whole plant dry matter of the crop is the best way to predict optimum harvest timing. Farms wanting earlier sampling may bring samples to the Watershed Program Offices, 44 West Street, Walton, and they can process them there. Contact Paul Cerosaletti with questions at 607865-7090 or email pac6@cornell. edu. Keep purchasing dairy products and encourage your friends and family to drink more milk and use dairy products whenever they can, and keep farmers in your thoughts. On Friday, Sept. 13 Harold and I went to Charlotte Valley School in Davenport to watch a girls’ soccer game between Charlotte Valley and Sidney. What was interesting for us - two of our granddaughters were playing in the game, our daughter Christine’s daughter Cassie Pierce for Charlotte Valley and our daughter Mary’s daughter Anna Tomeo playing for Sidney. Everyone we told we were going to the game asked us which team we would be cheering for and we said well, both, one on this side and the other on the other side. The teams did well and it was exciting to see all of the girls doing well defending their goals. The Sidney girls stayed ahead until the last three minutes, then Charlotte Valley scored 2 more goals, but in vain - Sidney won the game in the end. On one side we had our daughter and family from Sidney and the other side was our

The girls are working hard and are very excited to see what they can accomplish this year.” Key losses from last season are Morgan Newman and Dakota Thorne. Herodes said she believes her squad will be the team to beat this season as well as Unadilla Valley and Delaware Academy.

Walton Boys Varsity Soccer Justin Preston will be taking the helm of the Walton Boys Soccer team this season. Last year the Warriors were 12-4-1 and lost in the league championship to Greene (3-2). Top returning players are seniors - Kaiden Vernold (1st team MAC all star
last year), Lucas Walley (2nd team MAC all star last year) and Isaac Vesterfelt. Top newcomers: Freshman - Peyton Tweedie. “After losing 13 seniors, we have a lot of new faces on the varsity team,” said Preston. “The new players are working hard and
learning every day.” One of those seniors which is lost due to graduation is Tommy Maguire. Maguire set the school scoring record last season. Preston said the team to beat this season is Greene.
My goal for the team this season is to expand their skill level, knowledge of the game, and ability to work together on the field. Hopefully, this transfers over into our success and allows us to be competitive this season.” Last season 14 girls graduated and left the squad. “So, we are a young team and don’t have the strong leaders that were there to help us last year,” said Gabriel, who said that the teams to beat this season are Unatego and Delaware Academy. “They have a very strong group of girls, and both have a JV program that helps to benefit their varsity team.”
